Fall 2016 Update

Well everyone,  I am back with another update of my life.

My health:

In my last post I said I have cancer. Since then I have had an MRI done that showed no signs of cancer in me. That didn't mean it wasn't there, it just showed there were no signs. And there was a possibility of it coming back. To prevent that, I had radiation treatments done during July and August. I am going to be having a follow up MRI on my birthday to see if there are any signs returning or anything of that nature. And I will be having a CT Scan of my chest too.

Due to all of these health issues I have been having this year, I applied and have been approved for disability payments. And because of the nature of my disability, I can also work full time while drawing disability. And I also got me a job. Now whether or not it will be full time I don't know. I will know more abut that next week. But it is a relief to know that I am going to be getting some income very soon. The only downside to this is the travel but hopefully I will get the morning shift and will still be able to travel during daylight hours.

Season Premiers:

Okay, I am going to be lumping all the premiers together into this one post. Really it is going to be a review of the season up to date for each show rather than just the premieres themselves because each show will have aired two to three or more episodes by the date of this post. And I am starting with the shows according to the day of the week the air.

Once Upon a Time:

This show continues to amaze me. I was thinking that it was close to time for it to just end that they could not tell anymore story but that is exactly what has happen this season with the introduction of the "Aladdin" story. And they have gone back and did some more backstory for Cinderella which was nice. And they also did Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde. And where they are going with the main cast is interesting as well. I think they are even following the pattern of the first season by showing the end of events of the past first and then everything that will lead up to that point. But then again maybe not.

Supergirl:

This show had been good so far too. The introduction of Superman was excellent. I was glad to see a TV Superman once again. That is something that has not happen since "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman". Yes, there was "Smalleville" but "Clark" never put on the suit in that series until the end and it was just CGI and not really him. In this show it was Superman. Yes, he was "Clark" too but the actor's portrayal of Superman was excellent. I don't really know where they are going with the plot this season other than it deals with "Cadmus" in some regard. I am patiently waiting for that each week.

Flash:

This show is a "mess" and I mean that in a good way if there is one. Barry screws up the timeline by changing it and then restoring it. Now considering this show is in the same universe  as two others how are they affected. I don't know about "Legends yet" but one minor thing was screwed up on "Arrow". A character's baby girl was turned into a baby boy. And the main villain is attempting to restore powers to people that had them in another timeline. It will be interesting how that develops considering episode 4 is tonight.

Arrow:

This is show is good as well and has been my most anticipated season since season 1 because the flashbacks are from the "fifth year" away from civilization. This season's flashbacks should end with how the first season began. I can't wait for that. And Green Arrow also has a team he is working with. I guess I should say it is a new team because his old one left. And it has a big bad I can't wait to see play out.

Legends of Tomorrow:

This show has been good too after only two episodes. The introduction of the JSA has been brilliant. This  has never been done in live action form. Again Smalleville did have something about the JSA. They did a two-hour episode on it. But they had only a few characters in it and some hints of others but not much to go on. In this show it was a full blown-out team that could kick butt and worked well as a team. I am looking forward to what happens on this show.

Best Friends Whenever:

This show started again in a week of premiers then aired another such week earlier this month. I have watched 9 of the 10 episodes because somehow I missed that last episode but I am recording it and will be watching it later this week. The plot this time is very interesting in that it deals with the past and not the future. And a character that comes from said past is now in the present. And I have a feeling she's not what she claims to be but we'll see.

Well that ends my series of reviews. I have tried real hard to limit my TV viewing to just one show a night and that is basically what I have done. Now I am going to talk about my writing plans.

From Witch to Witness:

This story is still a long way from being done and in my word document I am close to 1000 pages. I stopped working on it because my concentration needed to be on looking for a job and now that is taking care of I can go back to this only the job will limit my time to writing so at this point I don't know when I will go back to this but it will happen soon.

The Adventures of Alpha and Omega:

This is a story idea that came to me when I was of all things was playing with my PS3 and was creating a female character that looked like an angel and I called her "Alpha". And then I created a female character that looked like a demon and called her "Omega". And as I was doing this a story idea came to me and thus the title above this paragraph. And to go further, I even reverence something from this story in "From Witch to Witness" when it hasn't even been written yet. Isn't that something? Well I don't know when I will get to writing this or even if I will because I want to finish the other one first. But hopefully someday I can write it.

The Girl who loved Dracula:

I don't know what the copyrights to "Dracula" are. But you see him in some many things now a days leads me to believe he is open domain but I don't know but this story idea came to me recently and when I get everything down that I want to do about this story I will begin working on it but that may not be until after the above two stories are done.

So that is everything I have to say. I hope everyone enjoys what I have written in this post. I look forward to reading any comments on it and I hope to get some this time but no pressure.

Until next time,
